I feel that eating is a celebration of life and that my celebration shouldn't harm another life, if possible. I enjoy great vegan cuisine, period. :)Favorite Bands/Artists: I have really varied tastes, but Van Morrison is what is in my CD player right now. I love just about everything but bitch-slapping gangsta rap (the non-bitch slapping gangsta rap is okay *lol*)Favorite Animal(s): Why, my pets, of course! I have a dog, two adult cats, one kitten, and about 30 or so fish.Taken or Single: TakenCareer or Future Career: I work in the legal profession, specializing in Family Law.Looking for a penpal who..: doesn't mind that I am often a lousy penpal... is as busy as I am so I don't feel guilty if I can't write as often as I'd like... wants to swap recipes... doesn't really believe that you have to be ultra-liberal to be vegan (I'm fairly conservative, politically)

Vegan forHealth?: Nah. Not mine, anyway. :)Animals?: Yes!Environment?: It's a nice side effect of thinking of the animals...World Hunger?: I guess I have never thought of it in those terms. My family and I make it a priority to feed the hungry on a local level and do what we can to help "the bigger picture," but now that I think about it, yeah, veganism is good for that, too. :)
